Aadhaar is required for the generation of UAN in respect of every employee who joins an establishment registered with EPFO. However, the penetration of Aadhaar is very low in Assam, Meghalaya & Nagaland. Many requests were received from employers for allowing generation of UAN without using Aadhaar number to help employees of the North-east and especially those belonging to the above mentioned three states.
